| R. L. JETER Grocery Store in downtown Greenfield. R. L. Jeter
, on the left, was known as " Sunday Hat" Jeter, was a colorful local character.
Robert E. L. Gallimore tells story....Bob (Sunday Hat) Jeeter went up to
the bank and wanted to borrow $2,000 to buy a farm. The cashier says:
"Well, I will call the board of directors together", and that made Bob
mad and he told them to go to hell, and he wired the Whitney Bank in New
Orleans. He got a wire back saying that they would be glad to loan
him the $2000, but could not understand why he had $9,674.72 on deposit
in their bank in New Orleans that had been there seven years and he had
never transferred it to a savings account. He had forgotten all about
it.
